Seems that Isaac takes after his father.
Due to a famine, he heads to where Abimelech reigns as king. When the men there see Rebekah and ask Isaac about her, he answers, "She is my sister" because he was afraid. " The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful."
You'd think he would learn from his father's mistakes.
But God is still following through on his promises, and he's blessing Isaac and continuing to follow through on his promises to Abraham by blessing Abraham's descendants.
Eventually, Abimelech asks Isaac to move on because he has become too powerful and successful and that is intimidating. Especially when you know God is on their side.
"We saw clearly that the Lord was with you; " vs 28
Once again, this reminded me to pray that I learn from my mistakes, and ALWAYS trust that God will take care of me.
